    Subject: RE: Jury Strut Attach
    I used two AN3 bolts through the U fitting I made and the spar. Should be more than adequate. Matt Paxton From: "Richard Schreiber" <lmforge@earthlink.net> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Jury strut attachment Good People, I'm fabricating my jury strut attachment for the spar ala Mike Cuy and Jack Phillips. I was wondering what size bolts everyone has used to hold the fitting to the spar. The Grega plans, which appear to be a copy of the Baby Ace design, uses AN4's. The attachment to the lift strut is only an AN3. It looks to me that AN4's through the spar is overkill, not to mention weakening the spar even more. Rick Schreiber

    Mike, Thats the design I plan on using. I plan on working on the cowling from the firewall rearward this month. I only want to pay shipping once, so I hope that a full 4x12 ft sheet will be enough to do the cockpits and the engine cowl. I'm using .025 2024T3. I saw Jim Hacklin and his Piet a couple of days ago. I am sure he will be flying this spring. He has just about finished his Corvair. I think all he has left to do is install the carb and then cowl the engine. The day I saw him we were due to get about 10 inches of lake effect snow. Our conversation naturally gravitated to open cockpit flying in the winter and how much we would actually do it. If I had skis like Don, I might be more inclined to do it.

    Not to get too picky, but didn't Will Graff's Air Camper (N1492G) have wooden lift struts and jury struts? http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Will%20Graff/pictures.htm Just wondering what kind of filler rod would be recommended for welding steel to wood. :) Bill C.

    Subject: Q: Charlie Rubeck's Piet
    From: Kenneth Bickers <bickers.ken@gmail.com>
    Guys, A number of years ago when I lived in Bloomington, Indiana, I got to know Charlie Rubeck. He was very helpful to me when I was in the early stages of my project. My understanding is that he died awhile back. I'm wondering whatever became of his Pietenpol. Do anyone of you know? He took me to see it on one my visits to his home outside Spencer, Indiana. It had been rebuilt after the accident when he inadvertantly stall/spun it in. Though it appeared it had been hangared for a number of years with little or no flying, it was really quite a nice airplane. I wonder who, if anyone, now owns it. Cheers, Ken

    Correct. The V-brace go on the front of the font seat. I put mine on the back like a bunch of other people have done but they will interfere with mounting the center strut lower fittings.
